Last year I wrote and formalised my two #hugo templates. One for my blog, very light and text focussed, and the second pictures (and a bit video) focussed.

I use them for my blog and my photo album, have a look.

I might even switch my media center / home server in the long run.

Not Blackblock, which is the one with my dns, my website and mailserver. That one is running OpenBSD and staying.

Love #OpenBSD.

But I might switch Jabberwocky, which runs #kodi and shares NFS in the home network and does DNS resolution.

Some #book lovers in #Copenhagen ?

I love reading and I seek people to share and talk about books here, can be in #english #danish #french

What are your favourite genre ? I love #scifi and #fantasy .

In Denmark, everything is about krimi, like nothing else exist, and yet, weirdly, Denmark has some fantasy books. I can enjoy a good krimi but give me a bit more please.

To follow on that, a month ago, I found a danish small business doing exactly what I needed : being just the registrar, not trying to sell me the moon.

I move one of my domain which was at another, quite expensive registrar, to profit of the cheap renewal.

No shit Sherlock, I cannot figure out how to register new DNSKEY, and I cannot register Glue records.

So I am going to move it again. Joy.

Coming back here. Long time no see.

After a lot of years switching between Debian and Archlinux, I never felt quite right, my computer had often glitch or was slow at times.

I began trying #nixos a few days ago and I am very happy about it!

This machine is now very stable.

I have to learn more about it, I still struggle on some corners (installing the necessary #LaTeX packages for example), but I am happy to say, this was worth a try.

(long time not written in there...)

Today I received a mail from the danish (#DNS) national register because I own or manage at least four domains in there.

They wrote that soon I will have the amazing opportunity to do everything related to my domains through the registar(s) of my choice(s) - which is most of the time the company where you are hosting your website.

**But I don't want that.**

I don't want to have to deal with another private entity which will provide no benefit to me. In my experience, those companies are just a massive annoyance, sending you commercial mails, requiring you to use cumbersome auth when right now, I can just auth in there using the national auth system.

It will just be a middle man with an extra fee on top of the very minor fee I pay right now for my domains. All that to access and manage my entries in the national DNS zone.

What do I have to do there ? Put in NS servers and DNSSEC keys for my zones. That's it.

All the rest, I do it myself !

I host my own websites, I run the authoritative dns servers with the zones.

So, no I don't want to deal with my domains through a middleman company.

But no, the ideology of "privatizing everything" has made another victim.

(Sorry if I sound dramatic. I am just angry there. I just don't see the point and I need to vent.

If they truly wanted to make it easier, they could have made that possible for everyone but not enforce it.)
